   1 commit.cleanup::
   2         This setting overrides the default of the `--cleanup` option in
   3         `git commit`. See linkgit:git-commit[1] for details. Changing the
   4         default can be useful when you always want to keep lines that begin
   5         with comment character `#` in your log message, in which case you
   6         would do `git config commit.cleanup whitespace` (note that you will
   7         have to remove the help lines that begin with `#` in the commit log
   8         template yourself, if you do this).
   9
  10 commit.gpgSign::
  11
  12         A boolean to specify whether all commits should be GPG signed.
  13         Use of this option when doing operations such as rebase can
  14         result in a large number of commits being signed. It may be
  15         convenient to use an agent to avoid typing your GPG passphrase
  16         several times.
  17
  18 commit.status::
  19         A boolean to enable/disable inclusion of status information in the
  20         commit message template when using an editor to prepare the commit
  21         message.  Defaults to true.
  22
  23 commit.template::
  24         Specify the pathname of a file to use as the template for
  25         new commit messages.
  26
  27 commit.verbose::
  28         A boolean or int to specify the level of verbose with `git commit`.
  29         See linkgit:git-commit[1].
